Daisy Leigh BreneckiWHAT DO YOU MEAN, 1 FLUID OUNCE OF WATER DOESNT WEIGH 1 OUNCE
America are you OK over there???
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A FLUID OUNCE IS DIFFERENT IN THE US AND UK
AND THEN THE US HAS A THIRD DIFFERENT FLUID OUNCE
Okay apparently the US and UK use the same ounce for weight, and the UK fl oz is 1 oz weight of water, but the US fl oz is slightly different and is apparently based on how wine was measured in the UK pre-1824???
everything I find out about imperial measurements just makes me more perplexed
Noah K@daisy If it makes you feel better, I've been dealing with it for my whole life and I still have to double check how many ounces are in each unit because we just use mass and volume seemingly at random.
@coderanger The ability to convert between units in my head is something I definitely take for granted

@coderanger @daisy “biblically accurate imperial measures poster” 🙅♀️
Jeff Forcier@itgrrl @coderanger @daisy was gonna say, alt text slightly inaccurate, it clearly resembles the classic Sefirot and one imagines that’s not an accident
@bitprophet @coderanger @daisy I was riffing on these sorts of “biblically accurate angels” memes & wasn’t aware of the Sefirot, but I see the resemblance
